Chapter 331: Peace in the City (2)
Yunyan Tower is also an outstanding restaurant among the restaurants located next to the south gate square of the Qingyun Kingdom’s palace.
As the name suggests, Yunyanlou’s most famous dish is wild goose cooked in a copper pot.
The two girls from Qingyou chose a window seat on the first floor of Yunyan Building. They drank sweet fruit wine and ate delicious cold dishes to go with the wine, looking forward to the arrival of the delicious meal.
After plundering Shuiyun Nunnery and Qingyun Temple, Lu Yi had no shortage of money, so the bags of Qingyou and the other two girls were also bulging. It would not be an exaggeration to describe them as having sleeves full of gold.
They casually ordered all the other dishes of Yunyan Tower except the goose cooked in a copper pot.
"Ah, I don't know what it tastes like." Qing Ning drooled, "I don't know which one tastes better, the dry pot goose in Gaojing."
"Mm, they are all delicious, all delicious." Qing Meng seemed to have tasted the wonderful delicacy before she even ate the boiled wild goose. She squinted her eyes and squeezed the bulging bag happily: "Hey, Brother Lu is so generous, hehe, with so much money, how many good things can I eat?"
Qingning is a little older, so she is a little more reserved.
However, she held the wine glass and glanced towards the kitchen from time to time, which showed that she was full of anticipation.
"Hey, sister, what do you think of Brother Lu?" Qingning put a chopstick of spicy and sour fish skin into her mouth, chewed it, and asked Qingning vaguely.
Qing Ning was stunned and said, "What? What is that? What are you asking?"
Qing Meng blinked her eyes and chewed a piece of fragrant braised pig ear while counting vaguely: "We mean, Brother Lu is very good, and he is a perfect match for our family... and, mainly, he is rich and generous... much more generous than my father."
"My mother said that finding a man is like buying a fat pig in the market. If you see a fat, strong, and handsome one, you should act quickly... Otherwise, if someone else gets there first, you won't have any fat meat to eat." Qingning gave Qingyou a look, and then another look.
"Well..." Qingyou took a sip of wine and said to her two sisters hesitantly, "Brother Lu and I, it seems, haven't reached this stage yet? We are just friends, um, pure friends... What are you thinking about?"
Qingyou's face gradually darkened. She looked at her two sisters and sneered, "Why...you want to sell me out for fame? For a few bucks..."
Qing Meng said hurriedly: "It's not just a few cloud coins, it's a big bag of cloud coins."
She patted the bag hanging around her waist vigorously.
The bags, or sword bags, of the three sisters may look small, but they are also treasures for storing things. The space inside is as big as three houses.
Now, the three women's bags are filled with sparkling cloud money, the number of which is in the tens of millions.
This was a huge sum of money, but it was given by Lu Yi to the three girls as pocket money!
"To judge whether a man is good or not, just look at how generous he is to women... This is what my mother said, it must be right." Qing Ning picked up another piece of sweet smoked bacon, put it in his mouth, chewed a few times, and then sighed with satisfaction: "And Brother Lu must be a good man, you see, he never goes to brothels or places, and there are no messy women around him."
Qing Meng nodded continuously. She set her eyes on a plate of golden shredded pork rolls. She felt that this plate of golden shredded pork rolls with a faint floral scent was extremely to her taste. She kept picking up the rolls with her chopsticks and finished five or six in a row.
Qingyou frowned, supported her chin with her left hand, and sighed softly.
"We go out to travel around the world, exorcise demons, do justice, and uphold justice..." Qingyou glanced at her two younger sisters and stated the main purpose of the three of them sneaking out of the house that year.
"It doesn't matter if you find a brother-in-law for us at the same time." Qingning and Qingmeng were in sync and spoke in unison to stop Qingyou.
Qingyou curled her lips and looked towards the palace gate.
At the gate, more than a hundred Taoist monks were carrying Zen staffs, standing majestically in front of the gate. They were over ten feet tall , very sturdy, and their light golden skin shone with a faint light under the setting sun, making them look even more majestic.
After taking another sip of wine, Qingyou grabbed the chopsticks and began to compete with her two sisters for the cold dishes on the table.
The six chopsticks created afterimages, moving forward and backward in sync with the sword technique. The cold air swirled and slashed between the plates. The beautifully presented dishes were driven by the sword energy and were torn apart with a "puff puff" sound.
The three sisters stopped talking, their eyes widened, and they concentrated on fighting for the food.
Outside the Yunyan Building, a group of young men in gorgeous clothes, with extremely obvious dark bags under their eyes, blue complexion, pale lips, and sunken eyes like consumptive patients, put their hands on their lower backs, rubbed their kidneys slowly, and walked slowly along the street step by step.
"Hey guys, where are we going for breakfast today?"
"Well, should we go to Yunyan Tower to eat wild geese, or go to Fubo Tower to eat fish heads?"
"How about not eating it? Feihua Tower, let's go, I'm the host today... eh!"
Around these young men, there were dozens of burly guards with dark eye sockets, sunken eyeballs, and blue faces, obviously weak. These guards gestured and shouted loudly, and wherever they passed, they were like wolves among a flock of sheep, and pedestrians, vehicles and horses on the street hurriedly avoided them.
The people of Xiyun City even dared to watch and ridicule the king's carriage.
But facing this group of young people, no one dared to stand in front.
On the roadside, a beautiful woman wearing a white dress and carrying a small bamboo basket with some green vegetables in it was dodging in panic as passers-by passed by.
A young man in Chinese clothes was looking around and suddenly saw the woman. His eyes lit up immediately.
"What a beautiful wild flower... Young lady, one hundred cloud coins a night, come and have fun with me, young master?" The young man, who was originally slow in movement, seemed to be given a shot of chicken blood. He jumped to the young woman and stretched out his hand to grab her snow-white and slender wrist.
The young woman screamed in fear, and passers-by on the road dodged in all directions. Several young men and a group of guards laughed wildly, and like flies smelling blood, they buzzed around the young woman.
In the crowd, the young woman's shrill and desperate cries had just been heard a few times before someone suddenly covered her mouth.
Several young men and a group of guards let out loud, animalistic laughter.
The pedestrians on the road were in chaos for a while, but then returned to calm. Many idle men put their hands in their sleeves, standing not far away, watching this scene of bullying men and women with relish.
An idle man shouted loudly: "I recognize this girl, she is the wife of Niu Dadan, the head laborer of Sanjinzhan... Hey, Niu Dadan 's ancestors are so lucky to have found such a beautiful wife. The brothers in the surrounding streets and alleys, who wouldn't be drooling with envy?"
Another idle man laughed wildly: "Niu Dadan has become rich now. His wife has been favored by several young masters. Tsk tsk, he can earn a hundred yuan in one night... What a bargain, what a bargain!"
The idle men and passers-by who were watching from all sides laughed in unison. On the upper floors of the restaurants, inns, and shops on both sides of the street, some people opened their windows and looked down at what was happening below with a smile.
Some people are clapping.
Someone is cheering.
Some people are clamoring and adding fuel to the fire.
Some people laughed and shouted: "Hurry up and find Niu Dadan, hehe, collect the money first, right? Otherwise, the young masters have played but forgot to pay, wouldn't this be a loss?"
A young man in fancy clothes jumped up and down and shouted, "Bullshit, you lowly people from Qingyun country, who are you looking down on? Young masters, are you short of this little money? Don't worry, we'll double the money after we're done playing!"
There was laughter all around.
Qingyou, Qingning and Qingmeng heard the laughter outside and stood up and walked towards the entrance of Yunyan Tower.
When passing by the shopkeeper's counter in front of the door, the white-haired, long-bearded, shrewd-looking shopkeeper of Yunyan Tower lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "Three girls, you don't need to watch this kind of excitement, right? You are still young, turn around, go through the back door, and go directly to the south when you reach the back alley. Hurry up!"
The three girls, Qingyou, looked at the shopkeeper with gloomy faces, and walked quickly to the door of Yunyan Tower.
The shopkeeper sighed and shook his head gently: "A sheep falls into the tiger's mouth... Alas, the people are so corrupt... Qingyun Country... It's a pity that the king of the country has put so much effort in it, alas!"
Just a dozen feet away from the gate of Yunyan Tower on the street, dozens of people surrounded a young lady.
The eyes of the three Qingyou girls suddenly turned red, and Qingyou shouted sternly: "Shameless bastard, let go of that girl!"
Qingyou mobilized her magical power, and the loud sound like the sound of a sword spread for miles, and everyone on the street could hear it clearly.
The laughter of the idlers and the noise of passers-by suddenly stopped.
The young masters who were busy doing this and dozens of guards who were watching and cheering stopped at the same time. After a long while, they slowly turned around and looked at Qingyou and the other two girls in disbelief.
This look...
Several young men began to drool.
Dozens of guards' eyes suddenly lit up, and they moved to the left and right tacitly to make way.
Several young men walked towards Qingyou and the other two girls step by step with smiles on their faces.
“Excellent!”
“It’s really top-notch!”
"Tsk, it's 'Yi Ren'... Yi Ren is good, wild game!"
"Brothers, we have been friends for many years. Please give these three young men to me, your younger brother!"
"Stop talking nonsense. He is my biological father. There is no room for negotiation today! There are very few people in this town who are as pretty as you. Do you want to have him all to yourself? You wish!"
"How about the old rules? Let's divide the profits among us brothers, right? Brothers, we share the good times and the bad times together!"
"That's right, let's enjoy it together! This isn't the first time, haha!"
A group of young men in fancy clothes approached Qingyou and the other two girls step by step with evil eyes.
A young man with the scent of perfume on his body smiled and stretched out his hand to Qingyou: "Miss, we are too lazy to ask where you live, what your name is, what your background is... In short, in front of us, these are not a problem."
"In a word, just follow us now and I promise you will have a life of luxury and wealth in the future."
"Otherwise... don't blame the brothers for being so ruthless, tsk tsk... so ruthless... ..."
Green light exploded.
The young man's arm that was grabbing Qingyou's face fell off at the shoulder.
